gcodes not processing till reboot

I'm not sure what happend. But the last two days any time I upload a gcode the print, view, or info icons don't show. It hangs on processing till I reboot. On reboot, the file process just fine and I can print with no issues. This happens regardless of the slicer used.

If I can provide any other logs or tests, please let me know. Thank you!

After upload the file is preprocessed and the buttons appear. I see the rendering starts which happens after preprocessing, so that part worked and you should have seen the buttons. Does the rendered image appear? So my guess is the error is on browser side maybe. Can you open developer tools->console and see if you get any error messages? Also please test reloading browser window instead of restarting server, Would that also show the buttons?

Last thing to check would be if avconv keeps running or exits due to missing images. If it hangs it will block all further processes as server will always only start one external job to keep cpu load in reasonable limits. But seeing rendering image I assume it finished. Anyhow hope one of the tests gives more insight where the problem lies.

RE: Webcam. I don't use the built in webcam server. I could never get it to work right. It would be fine for an hour then stop working. multiple cams don't work either. so I use an old PC running netcam server and 2 cameras with 0 issues. One day I'll try the cams on repetier server once more.

Maybe you should then disable timelapse if no webcam server is running. It seems you always make timelapses and they fail, just to rule out that problem.

ps aux | grep avconv

should show all avconv instances and the grep command.

I fully understand that it is a local problem, but I like to avoid all normally occuring local problems so knowing it is good also for us, as we can might be able to prevent the issue in future. Sure a fresh install would help for the moment, but will probably occur for someone in the future.

Problem with the log is that I don't see when what happened. I see uploaded files getting rendered, but I do not know at whcih time you had a problem. I don't see restarts in it. Is it that the problem occurs with every new upload directly after a start? If so please zip the complete /var/lib/RepetierServer folder and send it to me (dropbox e.g.). Maybe it will then also happen to me as I guess that the problem lies in some files. That is maybe the most frequent issue on real problems. sd card/power off causing some file system errors maybe causing a problem later.

Re webcam. I still capture the timelapses as the netcam servers mjpg URL is used in repetier server. That way I can still use the webcam features within repetier servers UI. But I can disable this anyhow just to make sure.

The problem happens Everytime I upload a gcode. It'll say uploaded and look like it's processing. The renders your seeing in the screenshot are from older gcodes. Or a gcode file that was rendered after a reboot/restart.

At the moment the only way I can print a gcode is the following:1. Upload gcode2. Restart repetier server via SSH. Or reboot via the UI3. After a reboot, the print, view, info icons appear. 4. Click the print icon.

Can I put the log level in debug mode so we get more details?

I'm happy to help debug this and will do the above you suggested when I get back home.

No, I mean you have quickupload which you seem to use (I saw job directory in log when rendering). In print tab you also have a upload gcode button which stores gcodes in the model folder of your printer. But I might be wrong which one you use when the problem occurs.

If you look into the folder structure of your printer you see also 2 folders one "jobs" and the other "models" where the data is stored. Maybe you can also clarify which one you are using with the pronlem.

Yes I meant these folders. Now unzipping your file and hope it gets also on mac into trouble with it as it is a big file that will fill my remining free space :-) SO hope I can delete it fast after finding the reason.

I disabled my pro license, did not activate the trial, uploaded a 2mb gcode file and same thing as originally. I do not get the print, info, and view icons. I reboot the server/restart service, and print, view, info icons are there as expected. As the pro license is not activated, no thumbnail is there, that's expected. So still at a loss what's going on.
